Spike Island

Something stopped me
Dead in my tracks
I was headed for disaster
And then I turned back

I was wrestling with a coat-hanger
Can you guess who won?
The Universe shrugged
Shrugged then moved on

It's a guess
No idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice
In my head
Just a feeling

And by the way
It's spike island come alive
And by the way
This time I'll get it right, oh

Not a shaman or a showman
Ashamed that I was selling the rights
I took a breather
And decided not to ruin my life
I was conforming to a cosmic design
I was playing to type
Until I walked back to the Garden
Of Earthly Delights

I was born
To perform
It's a calling
I exist
To do this
Shouting and pointing

And by the way
It's spike island come alive
And by the way
It's time I'll get it right, oh

No-one will ever understand it
And no-one will ever have the last word
Because it's not something you could ever say
So swivel

It's a guess
No idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice
In my head
Just a feeling

And by the way
It's spike island come alive
And by the way
It's time I'll get it right, oh

And by the way
It's spike island come alive
And by the way
It's time I'll get it right, oh
